The Voice UK: Sir Tom Jones reveals 'FRICTION' among coaches and he knows who's to blame

SIR TOM JONES has claimed that many scenes of The Voice UK were orchestrated under the BBC.

The 74-year-old was famously fired from The Voice after four series, only to claim his rightful seat back again as the spinning chairs moved to ITV.

However, in another outburst against the corporation who he previously said “kicked him in the b*****s”, he’s revealed exclusively to Express.co.uk they manipulated the judges in order to spark clashes.

“With the BBC, they wanted friction between the coaches,” he said. “They wanted that competitiveness. I said a couple of things that they suggested I should say and then I’d look back and think, ‘I shouldn’t have said that. It wasn’t like that.’”

The Welsh crooner added that under The Voice’s old home on the Beeb, coaches were also urged to swing their chairs for talent they didn’t believe in. Though, he admitted ITV have been guilty of a little shove in the wrong direction too.
